Hugh Jackman has lined up his next project, and it looks like a winner! The movie is called ‘Real Steel,’ and it’s being executive produced by Steven Spielberg. ‘Real Steel’ is based on a short story by Richard Matheson.
Story centers on a fighter who has to reinvent himself when human boxers are replaced by robots. Jackman will play a struggling Robot Boxing promoter who finds a discarded robot that always seems to win. He also discovers he has a 11-year-old son, and they bond as the robot brawls its way toward the top.
Although grounded in the father-son relationship… the film [is] a “rousing sports movie” with Jackman’s character “a former boxer who can no longer do the only job he’s good at, and one particular robot that may be his return to grace.”
With Hugh and Steven involved, it certainly looks promising. Interested?

It’s a bit far fetched for me, pass.
hmmm. i dont know. i’ll have to watch the trailer for this one.
The premise reminds me of an old twilight zone episode called “Steel” (except in that story, the human boxer dressed up as a robot – Maxo – and almost dies in a fight with a real robot). I might see this.
Actually, this should be based on the old Twilight zone episode, with some changes. It certainly sounds originally and if Hugh is in it, count me in!
